Background: Migraine is a frequent neurological condition with a high impact on quality life. The diagnosis is clinical in accordance with the International Classification of Headache Disorders version 3 criteria. Early diagnosis is important to initiate timely treatment. A screening tool for adulthood is already available (ID-Migraine), while there is currently no questionnaire that allows for diagnosis in children and adolescents. The aim of the present study is to demonstrate the validity of ID-Migraine to diagnose migraine in pediatric population.
Methods: A total of 94 pediatric patients were enrolled and administered ID-Migraine. The mean age was 11.6 years. The study group included patients with a diagnosis of migraine (63%) and primary stabbing headache (37%).
Results and conclusions: Specificity and positive predictive values were >80% (92% and 93% respectively); sensitivity and negative predictive values tended towards reliability (71% and 66% respectively), making the ID-Migraine a reliable tool in diagnosing migraine in the pediatric population.
